About this property
Full of charm and character, this traditional Grade II-listed Devon cottage dating back to circa 1650, has retained many of its original features and is the perfect retreat for small families looking to enjoy a holiday in the endearing village of Witheridge. Surrounded by rolling Mid Devon countryside, this delightful, thatched cottage provides a brilliant blend of relaxation and opportunity to enjoy the fresh Devon air. There are numerous walking and cycling routes close by including the renowned 180-mile-long Tarka Trail, which you can hop on at Eggesford only 12 miles away. Or enjoy days out at close-by market towns including South Molton (10 miles) and Tiverton (10.5 miles). Witheridge is situated on The Two Moors Way, linking the national parks of Exmoor to the north (15 miles) and Dartmoor to the south (27 miles).
The cottage has two welcoming entrance doorways. Upon entering through the left-hand entrance, you will initially come into the hallway where there is plenty of space to kick off those walking boots after a day exploring. To your left is the ground floor shower room complete with shower and WC, and to your right is the kitchen/diner. The kitchen is well equipped with a deluxe electric range oven set into the old inglenook, a microwave, American style fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Here is also situated the dining table where you can enjoy home dining together, or better still make the most of the array of local pubs and restaurants in the area. Continuing into the lounge you can relax into the enticing sofas and watch your favourite films on the Smart TV in front of the realistic looking electric fire which has been converted from an old stove. The exposed beams and original features really add to the warming feel of your stay. From the lounge you can make your way upstairs where you will find the three bedrooms, two have double beds and ample storage space and the third has a single bed. The master bedroom has the added luxury of an en-suite bathroom, containing a rainfall shower over the bath and WC. In line with the originality of this cottage, it does feature some low ceilings and uneven surfaces which is something to be mindful of on your stay.
From the kitchen you can make your way out to the enclosed stone gravel courtyard, where you can indulge in the outdoor seating and enjoy leisurely meals and drinks. Free parking can be found on-street and in the village square, just a stones throw away.
